Hell's Laughter

Hell's Laughter

I’m falling. My stomach convulses at the sudden loss of
ground beneath my feet. Cold wind blows past me turning my blood to ice, and I
can hear the maniacal laughter, the sound of pure joy fading into the distance.
I’d scream if I had any breath to give. He pushed me. He pushed me and he
laughed.

Clouds cover the moon, and erase the stars. The only light I
can see is the shrinking glow of the castle window. My arms flail through the
air in front of me, still grasping for that window’s edge that now is much too
far away.

I can still feel the spot on my chest where he hit me—where he
pushed me hard enough to make me tumble backwards into open sky. His hand print
burns where it touched my skin. I can still see the violent glint in his eyes
the moment he considered it, the smirk when he did it. The light is so small
now.

Everything goes black. And this…this must be hell. Because I
can still hear that laughter.

This young author really knows her stuff. From the 1st chapter I was sucked in and entertained the book.

William Elliott Kern:
Long story, the plot uncovered midway through the story. From beginning, the story was fast moving. Then dragged on for quite some time. The Author was good in describing her characters, their clothing, etc. but a lot of that disclosure distracted from the story moving fast.Not withstanding, the...

Sammy Styles:
It is one of those stories that keeps you on the hook till the last moment. A roll of pictures were piling up and with continuous moving, it was like I was watching a film. The scenes were dramatic with a bit of every emotion. The story contains every essence of mystery, romance and adventur...

I felt as if i am watching a movie,not reading a book. The story was definitely interesting. It was more of action than horror for me. There are a few grammatical and spelling errors I came across and at times I found it difficult to imagine some things which the author is trying to convey, but o...

This story was so well put together. It was suspenseful, the storyline flowed perfectly and it was full of interesting twists and turns. I found myself getting very involved in the story and read it in just a few hours. I'd really like to read more of this author's work!

I could not put this story down. I stayed up reading when I should have been in bed. could not get enough, could not wait to find how it ended. Great story telling. Great detail. Loved it. The characters were very vivid.

Once I started reading I didn't want to stop. A few minor grammatical errors caught my attention, but a quick edit can fix those. I found the main character's view interesting, and her thinking process a bit odd. Yet it was easy to follow her train of thought. The story ends with the reader wanti...

Great ideas. Some mistakes here and there, but not too much to break the immersion :) This was my second book here, and I'm pretty satisfied!
